To discuss the protective effect of aralosides (AS) on I/R-induced rat myocardial injury. The adult rat ventricular myocyte ischemia model was established through perfusion with sodium lactate perfusate and reperfusion with Ca(2+) -containing Tyrode's solution simulation. The cell contraction and ion concentration synchronization determination system was applied to detect the effect of AS on single I/R cell contraction and Ca2+ transients. According to the findings, AS could increase resting sarcomere length, contraction amplitude, ± dL/dt(max), calcium transient amplitude and speed of post-reperfusion myocardial cells (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and decrease in time for achieving 90.0% of maximum relaxation, time for achieving peak value, resting calcium ratio, contraction period [Ca2+] i, time for achieving 50.0% of maximum relaxation and attenuation rate of intracellular calcium transient (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Therefore, it is suggested that AS improved the post-reperfusion cell contraction and injury of calcium homeostasis.

To develop a LC-MS/MS method for the determination of protocatechuic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, salvianolic acid A, salvianolic acid B, cryptotanshinone and tanshinone II(A) in rat plasma and brain. The plasma and brain samples were precipitated with ethyl acetate, then were separated on an Agilent eclipse plus-C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm, 3.5 microm) using acetonitrile (consisting of 0.1% formic acid) and water (consisting of 0.1% formic acid) as mobile phase in gradient elution mode. The mass spectrometer was operated under both positive and negative ion mode with the ESI source, and the detection was performed by MRM. The transition of 154.3/153.1 m/z for protocatechuic acid, 137.3/108 m/z for protocatechuic aldehyde, 493.0/295.2 m/z for Salvianolic acid A, 718.0/520.0 m/z for salvianolic acid B, 321.4/152.3 m/z for chloramphenicol, 297.4/254.3 m/z for cryptotanshinone, 295.5/249.3 m/z for tanshinone II(A) and 285.2/154.0 m/z for Diazepam. The calibration curves in the range of 0.625-1 000 microg x L(-1) for protocatechuic acid and protocatechuic aldehyde, 1.25-1 000 microg x L(-1) for salvianolic acid A, 2.5-1 000 microg x L(-1) for salvianolic acid B, 0.15-1 000 microg x L(-1) for cryptotanshinone, 0.625-1 000 microg x L(-1) for tanshinone II(A) are with good linearityin rat plasma and brain. The analysis method is sensitive, simple, and suitable enough to be applied in the pharmacokinetic study of the 6 main components. Animal testing gives the lgBB of the drugs and further studies of the 6 components cross the blood-brain barrier can be carried out.

Purpose To study the effect of overexpressing either wild type or a familial Alzheimer disease mutant presenilin 1 (mPS1) on tau phosphorylation in neuroblastoma NG-108 cells. Methods Three different plasmids transfected NG-108 cells respectively. Immunostaining and confocal microscopic technique were used to study the distribution of presenilin 1 and phosphorylated tau. Immunoblot test was applied to investigate the change of tau phosphorylation. Results Immunostaining showed that in brain of sporadic Alzheimer disease, PS1 mainly distributed in neuron and partially colocalized with the phosphorylated tau. Immunoblot tests showed that the cells transected either wild type PS1 or mPS1 contained more phorphorylated tau than the control cells. However, MTT test showed no significant difference between mock transfected cells and the wPS1 or mPS1 transfected cells. In addition, after transfection of the constructed PS1-EGFP vector, overexpressed EGFP-PS1 was located at cell surface membrane and subcellular organelles at earlier time at 12 hr, then EGFP-PS1 diffused in cytosol. Immunocytochemical observations demonstrated that some of the PS1-EGFP transfected cells contained more phosphorylated tau protein, which formed aggresome with PS-1-EGFP. When treated with phosphotase inhibitor okadaic acid, in the PS1-EGFP transfected cells accumulated more phosphorylated tau than the un-transfected cells. Conclusions Wild type PS1 is possibly involved in tauopathy in sporadic Alzheimer's disease.

ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare long-term clinical outcomes of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with remnant preservation versus remnant resection.MethodsFrom October 1999 to May 2005,standard ACL reconstruction with autogenous quadrupled hamstring tendons under arthroscopy using remnant resection with transtibial techniques was conducted in 87 patients.From June 2005 to May 2010,ACL reconstruction with autogenous quadrupled hamstring tendons using outside-in bone tunnel establishment and remnant preservation was performed in 221 patients.Only the patients who underwent simple ACL reconstruction together with more than three years follow-up records were enrolled in the study,including 66 patients in remnant preservation group and 39in remnant resection group.ResultsPatients of both groups were all followed up for 36-60 months,which showed insignificant difference between groups ( P > 0.05).Compared with the preoperative data,the latest follow up data demonstrated satisfactory outcomes in both groups.The two groups showed no significant differences regarding the preoperative data including age and gender distribution,average time from injury to surgery,joint instability extent and functional score of the affected knee ( P > 0.05 ).There was no statistical difference in regards of the thigh muscle atrophy and Lachman test between groups ( P >0.05).However,the remnant preservation group was superior to the remnant resection group in aspects of the range of motion of the affected knee,Lysholm score,stability in anterior drawer test,stability in pivot shift test and international knee documentation committee (IKDC) grade ( all P < 0.05 ). ConclusionCompared with standard ACL reconstruction using remnant resection with transtibial techniques,the ACL reconstruction using outside-in bone tunnel establishment and remnant preservation has better longterm clinical outcomes including stability and function of the affected knee.

[Abstract ] Objective Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) can be induced to the differentiation into vascular smooth muscle cells in many induction conditions.We sought to explore the possibility of the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into vascular smooth muscle cells by continuous cell culture in vitro. Methods Rat BMSCs were isolated from the bilateral tibial and femoral bones by the method of whole bone marrow adherence, followed by ex vivo expansion.BMSCs were identified by flow cytometry and three-lineage differentiation.After continuous five days'cell culture of BMSCs, the specific surface antigens of VSMCs were detec-ted by immunofluorescence, western blot and real-time PCR. Results BMSCs expressed CD29、90, in contrast, they did not express CD45、34、49d.After induction of osteogenesis, adipogenesis and chondrogenesis, alizarin red、oil red and alcian blue staining pro-duced a strong reaction in cells.The expressions ofα-SMA、Calponin1、SM-MHC and SM22 in the cells of experimental group were no-tably increased, which indicated that BMSCs were differentiating towards VSMCs. Conclusion In the absence of exogenous stimula-tion, BMSCs can be successfully induced to differentiate into VSMCs by continuous cell culture.

AIM:To investigate the effects of MG132,one of the proteasomal peptide aldehydes inhibitors,on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced nuclear transcription factor-kappa B(NF-?B) activation,the production of nitric oxide(NO) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-?),as well as the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in murine macrophage line RAW264.7.METHODS:Reporter gene assay was used to examine the activity of NF-?B by pNiFty-SEAP/HEK293 cells,which were transfected with the pNiFty reporter plasmid into human embryo kidney cells(HEK293).Fluorescence substrate DAF-2DA was used to testify NO level in Raw264.7 cell line induced by LPS.Furthermore,the secretion of TNF-? was examined by ELISA.Western blotting was used to reveal the expression of iNOS and I?B-?.RESULTS:MG132 significantly decreased the secretion of TNF-? induced by LPS,with the inhibitory rates of 36.7% and 60.4% to 5 ?mol/L and 10 ?mol/L MG132,respectively.The pro-inflammatory mediator NO production was decreased in a dose-dependent manner with the inhibitory rates increasing from 29.5%(2 ?mol/L) to 55.9%(10 ?mol/L).Pretreatment with MG132 reduced the expression of iNOS,but restored the I?B restrain caused by LPS treatment.Observed by a reporter gene assay,TNF-?-induced NF-?B activity was decreased gradually by addition of increasing concentration of MG132(2.5-10 ?mol/L).CONCLUSION:Our results suggest an anti-inflammation effect of MG132 by the suppression of LPS-induced the production of pro-inflammatory mediators including NO and TNF-?,and the expression of iNOS,which probably mediates the blockage of I?B degradation and NF-?B activation.
